'God looks like Jesus Christ' – Greg Boyd

Advent Reflection 1: Wisdom’s Call

We’re starting this series of Advent Reflections in a slightly unusual place, with the well-known poem from Proverbs 8, ‘Wisdom’s Call’, which praises Wisdom and personifies her as a character present at the creation of the world.

Christians have often seen Jesus in these verses – why do you think this is? Do they make you think of Jesus? Are there any verses which particularly speak to you?

Also: why should we be careful not to take this poem too literally – e.g. as Jesus speaking?
